| Blown tube I just had two go out in a lot less time. | |
| Best Temporary Record Cleaning Options Thanks Dan. Although I want to be up and going with my new TT, it has actually worked out well to have the time to research and order all of the other stuff that goes along with this venture. I'll go ahead and look to pick up the other RRL and an ... | |
| Best Temporary Record Cleaning Options My TT is still at least a week away but I've collected the following tools: KAB-EV1, RRL vinyl wash, Shure stylus force gauge, Hunt EDA cleaning brush, and LYRA stlylus cleaner, and 100 used LPs. That should keep me busy for a while. | |
| What happen with tannoy speakers in USA ? I know a couple of Tannoy dealers and they never carry anything above the TD12. It seemed to me that Tannoy was or is chasing the HT market in the US and never really did a good job of marketing like their buddies at B&W. | |

| Grizzly Man I admittedly did not see the headphone scene. It may indeed be enough to convey the essence for many of us. There still must be a difference from hearing the tape yourself. I guess it would be like watching someone listen to music with headphones. | |
| American Idol, the fems Not so good tonight. | |
| Grizzly Man TVAD, I certainly can appreciate your perspective. It is beyond irony, beyond questions of taste, and all about insight. My point was about tapping into a penultimate moment that brought this guy to a very real completeness. It may not be for ever... |
